Default Re: Lazer radar? how much time?

Yes they do almost always park after an overpass here so you don't see them until you crest the top. That way they maintain the element of surprise. I don't think they use two officers in different cars here because (as that same municipal judge told me), both officers would have to appear for the trial to make it stick. They do seem to appear and reappear in the same general areas. I just thought that was because it was a "fruitful" area. I doubt that they have to clock very many cars before they catch someone going 10+ over the speed limit. The speed limits on major highways here in Harris county are lower now because of air pollution (supposedly?) so people almost always go about 5-10 over that 60. I think most officers don't stop people until they exceed that 10 mph cushion. Thanks for the advice Ryan. I think I'll just try not to exceed the 10 mph rule for a while at least until my deferred disposition is dismissed (90 days? I think).
